Freiwilligenprojekt Environmental Conservation
Werden Sie im Naturschutz aktiv! Umweltverbände schützen und fördern Parkanlagen, Naturerfahrungsräume, Biotope und Naturschutzgebiete. Volunteers spielen eine wichtige Rolle für den Erhalt der Umwelt. Auch die NGOs in Kanada können ihre Ziele nicht ohne die unzähligen Volunteers mit ihrem Enthusiasmus und ihrer Bereitschaft, sich aktiv einzusetzen, erreichen.
